数字时代学术期刊版权转让协议的形式及内容规范

Format and content standard of copyright transfer agreement for academic journals in the digital age

数字时代,学术期刊遇到了更复杂的版权问题,版权转让协议出现了新形式和新变化。版权转让协议只有形式合法有效、内容规范具体,才能维护学术期刊的合法权益。本文从版权转让协议的纸质版、电子版、网络版及声明版4种常见形式入手,分析了其法律效力及存在的问题。同时,以建议条款的形式,梳理了前人探讨较多的转让权利的内容、方式、地域、二次授权、争议解决方式等内容,同时又对新型出版模式、署名者责任、著作权使用费的处理方式、协议的生效时间等新问题做了强调和分析,旨在进一步规范版权转让协议的条款内容。

In the digital age,academic journals are confronted with more complex copyright issues,and the copyright transfer agreement has taken on new forms and changes. Only when the form of copyright transfer agreement is legal and effective,and the content is standard and specific, can the legitimate rights and interests of academic journals be protected. This paper analyzes the legal effect and existing problems of the four common forms of copyright transfer agreement: paper version,electronic version,network version and statement version. At the same time,for the purpose of aiming at further standardizing the content of the copyright transfer agreement, we not only comb the content,method,region,secondary authorization,dispute settlement and other issues discussed by predecessors,but also emphasize and analyze the new publishing mode,the responsibility of the signer,the handling method of royalties and the effective time of the agreement.
